Good Morning.
Last night wasn’t our night.
That’s ok.
We are not called to win every battle, we are called to show up and fight.
I see you, I hear you, and know that I will show up every day for the next 4 years and fight that battle right beside you.
Be encouraged. Keep the faith.
- Romans 8:28

Passing unconstitutional laws and forcing citizens to fight them in court isn't governing. It's an abuse of power. #2A #gunrights

WATCH: 'Minnesotans need us to fight, and they expect us to fight,' says Republican Minnesota state senator
Republican state Sen. Michael Holmstrom joined Liz Collin on her podcast.
Holmstrom discussed several concerns now that Democrats have gained even more control in Minnesota — including how DFL legislators are likely to push for raising taxes and passing a sweeping gun control bill.
However, Holmstrom said that Republicans are going to make DFL legislators "go through the process as painfully as possible. Because the reality is, Minnesotans need us to fight, and they expect us to fight."
Senate Republicans learned nothing.
They keep their grip on power. You’re stuck with the bill.
Saving America starts with expelling the rot in our own ranks first.

Another DFL trifecta on the horizon in Minnesota at the state capitol:
“Socialism’s on the ticket… raising taxes, raising unfunded mandates, raising the fees, whether it be tab fees or just any of your government fees,” Republican state Sen. Michael Holmstrom said.
On gun control legislation:
“If you look at those gun bills, they had no idea what their own legislation would do. They just wrote it down, copied and pasted, asked AI. They had no idea what they were writing… They just don’t understand what they’re legislating.
“That’s going to continue to happen… our job in the legislature as Republicans is going to be to throw up that red flag and say, hey, this doesn’t make sense.”
Thank you for joining us, @MichaelH_MN.
Voters 'need us to stand up and fight for them,' says Republican Minnesota state senator
From raising taxes to passing sweeping gun control legislation, Republican Sen. Michael Holmstrom expects to "see it all" with another DFL trifecta on the horizon.
"I'm going to fight twice as hard as I did last year against these bills. They are not going to pass any of this quietly," he said.
"We just need you to let us know and be honest with us about what you need the Republican Party to be, because we’re in rebuild mode and you’re in charge.”
Tom Hauser and @KSTP spent the last 2 months downplaying Fraud.
You don’t get to care about it now because it’s good for your ratings.
Mainstream media is dead, it was a suicide.
The red flags were abundantly clear in a Hennepin County grant program that was shut down early because it was overwhelmed with suspicious applications. @RyanRaiche obtained all those applications and wait until you see what he found. Full investigation drops Monday.

“I know I’m gonna get crucified for this homily…”
Fr. Chris Alar delivers a powerful warning following the 2026 elections.
“We get the leaders we deserve.”
Are Catholics abandoning their moral responsibility at the ballot box?
WATCH.
This week, Minnesota House & Senate Republicans met to elect leadership for the next two years.
I walked into the room expecting a serious reckoning with our electoral failures. I expected a willingness to confront hard truths and make meaningful changes.
Instead, both bodies largely reelected the same leadership and offered excuses about national political headwinds.
Minnesota Republicans are demanding change.
Unfortunately, too many of their elected officials aren't listening.
This is exactly why I helped to form the Minnesota Freedom Caucus.
We have our work cut out for us. But you have my word: I will not make excuses, I will not pretend everything is fine, and I will never be afraid to tell you the truth.
You deserve a voice in St. Paul.
This is why I fought so hard against the bill on the senate floor, we were shut down by our own party.
This bill was a vanity project for House Republicans and their reelections.
Our voices were silenced, now democrats will raid this fund with impunity.
While all the races in Minnesota got the headlines Tuesday, almost nobody noticed what Voters just passed with Amendment 1...
Back in 1858 Minnesota set up a Permanent School Trust Fund from 2.5M acres of mining and timber land...today it sits at $2.4 Billion
For 168 years the State Constitution kept the Principal "perpetual and inviolate"...meaning Politicians could ONLY spend the interest and dividends,(about 2.5% a year) and couldn't touch the nest egg
How did they sell Amendment 1 on the ballot? "More money for schools without raising taxes"...so of course 73% voted Yes
Here is what it ACTUALLY did:
- Stripped "perpetual and inviolate" right out of the Constitution
- Bumped the payout to 4.5% of the fund's value,(so in a down market it eats straight into the Principal)
- Put that 4.5% cap in regular Statute instead of the Constitution...and killed a 2/3 supermajority rule in committee 7-1
Oh and remember...Democrats just took total control of St. Paul right before a brutal 2027 budget deficit
So now a Simple Majority can crank that payout higher whenever they run short of cash...
168 years of guardrails gone overnight. The founders of this State are rolling in their graves...

This person should be under arrest for voter intimidation. But Hennepin County invited her back to work at the polls.
🚨 BREAKING: Hennepin County officials have confirmed that the poll worker wearing the blood-spattered T-shirt depicting Charlie Kirk is real.
The poll worker was sent home, but told they could return if they changed their shirt.
Excuse me, HOW was this individual not fired on the spot? Why are they being given an opportunity to return to their post?
This is actually insane.
Michael Holmstrom retweeted
The poll worker wearing a blood-splattered shirt depicting Charlie absolutely infuriates me, guys.
Last year, leftists swatted my family. The death threats continued for nearly a year afterward. I begged Minnesota legislators to pass laws protecting ordinary Minnesotans from ever having to experience what my family went through.
My senator introduced a bill to crack down on swatting and doxxing, and Democrats unanimously voted it down.
I don’t mean to sound hyperbolic, but after everything my family and other conservative friends have been through, I can’t see it any other way.
You have to vote like your life literally depends on it.
Here is video of Senator @MichaelH_MN pleading with Democrats to take action.
In case anyone is wondering, no, Democrats are not capable of moderating.
They will lear nothing.
In their ideological fantasy, both victory and defeat are proof that they were right all along.
